News Update

President Bola Tinubu has given a fresh appointment to Abdullahi Ganduje, the immediate past chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), following his resignation as the chair of the ruling party.

The president has appointed Ganduje as the chairman of the board of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), barely two weeks after resigning as the APC national chairman.

According to Vanguard, the appointment was announced at the formal inauguration of the newly appointed board members of FAAN in Abuja on Wednesday, July 9.

The former Kano State governor resigned on Friday, June 27, 2025, with immediate effect. Ganduje was appointed as APC chairman in August 2023 following the resignation of former national chairman, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, from the North-Central zone.

Controversies have earlier trailed the resignation of Ganduje as the ruling party’s national chairman, leading to the rumour that his leaving was to pave the way for the coming of his predecessor in Kano, Rabiu Kwankwaso, to join the APC.
